But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
I can give gifts to someone, I can give hugs, I can sing songs, and I can talk to him every day and fool him telling him that I love him, but that does not mean that I do love him. Outwardly I am doing what a person in love would do; it would seem that I love him. He may never find out that I am fooling him, but that is not a correct relationship because I do not love him with my heart; it is not a true love.
You can give God whatever you want; you can sing him songs, choruses, hymns, praises, psalms…you can pray and talk to him every day, you can do things that please him, you can tell him you love him…outwardly you do everything a person in love with God would do, but that does not mean you love him. Are you trying to fool God? He is omniscient…he knows EVERYTHING. We know this, but sometimes we do not believe it.
Psalm 103:14: For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. God, knowing everything we are, and what we are NOT…still loves us. Just the same as this verse is in the Bible…John 3:16 still exists. God loves us with all he is…and if you stop to think everything God is…it’s a lot!
Why do we try to fool God? Do we love him with our hearts? Our love…the one we give God…is it true?
